Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I hope I didn't misunderstand a recent response from your team on this ATD.B. Would you be saying that without an acquisition there is little growth for this stock? Assuming no acquisition taking place in the next couple of years, would you still invest in this company?

One other question. Do you see them dramatically increasing their dividend as the company matures in the future?

Thanks.

Q: SPB vs PKI. Several months back in the Q&As you were more positive on PKI than SPB. Is that still true or would you prefere ATD.B over both. I hold SPB and thinking about adding/switching SPB for PKI. How would you rank?

Q: By mistake , I bought CSU & ATD.B using money from my US investment account. Now the stocks are shown in my US investment account priced in US dollars. Would that have a tax implication on dividend credit or when I sell ? Thanks for your expert opinion.

Q: I was looking to purchase an undervalued stock and considering ATD.B but today it is down over 3% and underperforming the S&P. There was a change in the board of directors (which may have contributed) and CFRA reduced its rating from Buy to Hold due to volatile crude prices and restricted global traffic. Do you see this as a longer term trend or is it an opportunity to buy now or a bit later? Can you recommend other undervalued Canadian stocks for a balanced equity portofolio?
thanks
